The clashes took place Sunday near Ramallah. Maan cited local medics in its report on the boy.
Also Sunday in the West Bank, Israeli forces shot and injured at least 50 Palestinians, including a Maan cameraman, during clashes at a checkpoint near Nablus, according to Maan.
Protests also took place in the West Bank city of Tulkarem, near Hebron, and in the eastern Jerusalem neighborhood of Abu Dis.
